Please feel free to post some ideas for the Teen Challenge.
The topics can be of whatever theme you feel like. it could be sci-fi, fantasy, modern, wild western, mechanical, steampunk, post apocalyptic it could be absolutely anything!
But remember to try and to give artists enough space to let the creative juices flow and create something truly unique =D

Something vague and ambiguous.

like a red balloon.

[Mtijn]

Some spontaneous ideas:

Deep Desire

Arch-Rival
Man-made Fortress
City of the Skies
Mechanical Sun
Moonrise at Dawn
Creating a Creator
Building on Motivation

I'll put down a line here, else I'd never quit XD

[orchitect]

Out of place camouflage.

Just thought I'd toss one out right now. I'll add some more later.

[Wolfbane]

Sentient war machine
A living machine used for war that has a will and character of its own.

When all else fails...
A final idea or effort to solve a hopeless situation.

Primal god
A worshipped creature, being or apparition that resembles an animal that holds certain traits. i.e Lion = Pride, courage, determination, strength. Owl = Wisdom, enlightenment, patience.

The last of its kind
Many ways to translate this idea into a concept. It might be the last creature of an ancient, thought to be extinct race, or an old, rusty gas driven vehicle driving alongside a group of futuristic cars powered by environmental-friendly technology.

[Nibras]

Guys we should have a topic vote. Not just one person pick out of the topic suggestions. Every time theres a suggestion, the one with the most people saying they'd like to do it wins.

Some the topics have been kind of random, all names of songs and stuff that doesn't make much sense. The other things your chosing are pretty hard to illustrate. I really like 64 though, really awesome a bit like the old teen challenges.

I vote for

The ice queen
The shadow hunter
Demon of destruction.

Ahhh man ross too many good ideas, you gotta share your brains with me.

[fawn]

Couple quickies before I go on Vacation. ( Yay!)

Arctic meets Equator (For environment, creature, character, scene -- whatever!)
Horizon Eater
Saint Elmo's Fire
The Tooth Fairy
Epidermis Monster
City of Tar
Psychic Fishing
PTD (Psychically Transmitted Disease, would require designing the disease itself. Art side might include symptoms, the virus/bacteria that cause it, or someone in the process of transmitting it/being afflicted by it, or even a public service announcement like those old "Syphillis is the Enemy!" posters )
Absurd flying creature (ex: How do you get a large animal aloft, in a feasible manner? Magic counts but must be explained.)

[Hoboken]

Some themes I'd like to see:

And That's All She Wrote...
This is my Angry Face
The Witching Hour
Do Not Cross
Hecho En Mexico
When in [famous city]...
Prison Break
Top of the Flops
Bodyguard
The Secret Life of Trees
Minefield

[Jerik]

halfway through transformation (no robots, that would just look silly, more on the supernatural kinda way)
Demon of Heaven (mini version of the beautific dragon )
Tesla's greatest creation (lightninglightninglightninglightning)
Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire
Lost
(any random matierial) e.g. Lead, Iron, Paper
Horrible Reality

[QuaTronics]

how about just very basic stuff?
maby just wind,
or fire, water, air....... those topics would bring alot of variation
open topics are the best i think, not specific ones like the tooth fairy, shadow hunter etc etc..

[Trooper]

or we could do a kind of abstract collection, like people post what they draw while listening to their favorite songs or something?...

[Jerik]

the fault in that is that my favourite song, and most people's, is a bit too short to fit a whle pic into...

anyway.... and an abstract challenge, is a bit too far away from conceptart... concept art is supposed to appeal to another person isn't it... making it too personal is rather faulty!

[imadolphin]

just tossing a few ideas into the mix here:

Lasting Impressions
Our Paradise
Classroom
Blame
"Count Me Out!"
Of Lesser Importance
Lessons

[morie]

modern is a good theme
